uim might be a better choice, since it seems to still carry a series of old flags
intended for building against KDE3/QT3 (--enable-kde-applet --with-qt
--with-qt-immodule (the related QT4 flags all have a "4" in them)).  Whether the 
code they control is still there, still functional, and will work with Trinity is 
another question, of course, but it's a starting point.
